Book Bucket List!

School is almost over!!!! It's finals week..... and I have never worked this hard before. EVER! I have been slaving the last 3 weeks on trying to complete my math. But I have made myself be diligent! And that's a step for me! :)
See lately I have been learning about the color personality test. I have taken it several time through the years and I have always been a dominant yellow.... but I listened to a CD that told ALL about the yellow personality and I am whole heartedly a yellow! My motive in life: FUN, FUN, and more FUN! I like to play, not work and I am a people person. It makes for a GREAT social life but a horrible school life.... haha
So the fact I was able to force myself to get this math done is amazing and shows that I am able to do hard things! If you are ever in doubt with yourself, remember: You CAN do hard things!!! I have used a lot of CAPS in the last paragraph.... Goodness! :)
But again... School is almost over! Two more days!! That's a breeze, right?! And our choir spring show is this weekend in the conference center. I am really excited about that as well! We just had our choir show this previous weekend and it was amazing!! The shows always are. It was our 50th year of shows so it was a commemorative show, including favorite songs from all the past shows. We are singing a lot of really great songs such as: Battle Hymn of the Republic, I am a Child of God, Bound for the Promise Land, I've got Rhythm, and Seize the day! But I can't believe our show is pretty much over... and that this semester is over! It went by fast.
So much has happened and I think I have grown a lot just in this last month. I know I have definitely learned a lot from some past experiences, from which I know God wanted me to learn. I learned people come into our lives at the times we need them most. And sometimes they have  to leave our lives, even when we aren't ready for them to... but we may not need them anymore! But people come and go, and all are a blessing from God! :)
I have some pretty amazing summer plans. Natalie is coming home to visit!!!!!!!!!! I am ecstatic and cannot WAIT to see her! We have already made a list of what we are going to do while she is here! She should be coming in the next week or so! :) I am also going to be an EFY counselor this summer and what an amazing opportunity that is! It's going to be such a blessing in my life, I just know it! And honestly, I can't wait to have time to read! I have started making a list of books I want to read... kind of a bucket list of books I guess! :) I said in a previous post that I could feel this year was going to be a good one and a lot was going to happen. I was RIGHT! And it's only been 4 months! I can't wait to see what else God has in store for me! I know he has a plan for me and it's a great one! :)
